+ * There are several laptops (non 2-in-1) models out there which support VGBS,
+ * but simply always return 0, which we translate to SW_TABLET_MODE=1. This in
+ * turn causes userspace (libinput) to suppress events from the builtin
+ * keyboard and touchpad, making the laptop essentially unusable.
+ *
+ * Since the problem of wrongly reporting SW_TABLET_MODE=1 in combination
+ * with libinput, leads to a non-usable system. Where as OTOH many people will
+ * not even notice when SW_TABLET_MODE is not being reported, a DMI based allow
+ * list is used here. This list mainly matches on the chassis-type of 2-in-1s.
+ *
+ * There are also some 2-in-1s which use the intel-vbtn ACPI interface to report
+ * SW_TABLET_MODE with a chassis-type of 8 ("Portable") or 10 ("Notebook"),
+ * these are matched on a per model basis, since many normal laptops with a
+ * possible broken VGBS ACPI-method also use these chassis-types.
